game with winning gait, and made two runs in
the first inning and one in the third. The Pitts
burgs secured their only run in the fourth inning
and then the rain came down in torrents, making
it necessary to call the game.
The Philadelphias won another game yesterday,
defeating the Indianapolis "tail-enders" by score
OF to z. The New York Giants succeeded in
downing the Detroit sluggers, who lead the League
procession. to 6. Arson and his Chicago cham
pions avenged their defeat OF Wednesday by CIV

Municipal Elections In virginia,
TIE RETURNS COMMA IN sr owrv


Returns from the municipal elections through
out Virginia yesterday are meager. In Green
Vile, Prince Edward and Dinwiddie Coun-
ties, so far as heard from, the repub-
lcans have been almost generally success
full In Isle OF Wight the result is mixed.
The town OF Staunton gave majority of 2S5 Tor
the democratic local officers. In Portsmouth, a
city council and municipal officers were elected
by heavy democratic majority over the labor
ticket, the republicans having abandoned the
neld. In Norfolk CO: the contest was for county
officers, between the regular republicans and
fuSionists, and the regular ticket carried the
county. Except In the county there was very
uttle interest taken in the election. At Lynch.
burg six nominees OF the democratic primary
were elected to the city council and nine knights
OF Labor, four Of whom are negroes II is believed
that two OF the Knights will act with the demo-
cratic party.
At Winchester three tickets were voted, citi-
zens,, temperance and republican. There was
much scratching: The result was uncertain last
night. The negroes voted straight republican
tickets. The democratic ticket is elected in Fred
eI1ck County by large majority. The contest
between Cammer, Independent, and Ptfer, regular
democrat, for commissioner OF revenue. was spir.
Tied, but was not definitely aScertained last night.
At Charlottesville Harris, democrat, was elected.

Mary AmdersOn's Murder.
HRR COUSIN ON TRIAL FOR THE CRLNE-A NYsrE.
RlOUS CASE.


RIoUs CASE.
Before Judge Parker at Mt. Holly Y. j., Tues.
day, jury was secured after good deal OF difli-
Guilty In finding men who were free from prejudice
to try Barclay Peak for the murder OF his cousin
Mary c. Anderson on the 9TH OF February last.
The crime was committed within a short distance
OF the girls home at Newbolds corner, near that
place, and was not discovered until the following
morning, when the victim was found nearly dead
by the side OF small brook. The injured girl was
conveyed TO the residence or Barclay Peak, that
being the nearest house. and while there young
Peak came In the house and kissed her on the
cheek and passed out with the remark that 'Katie
had wanted him to call on her the night before,
but he was glad he had not" This remark made
before Peak had been accused and which was to-
lowed by the finding OF his revolver near the scene
OF the tragedy, resulted in his arrest upon the
charge OF being the girls slayer. Prior TO her
death, which did not occur for nearly a month
Later, she repeatedly said In the presence and hear
ing OF her parents and others that Peak had snot
her, but why he did So or whether there had been
quarrel or not, the girl would never tell. Ii is
this that has added TO the mystery In the case and
rendered it so difficult OF solution An unsuccess-
ful attempt was made by Peaks counsel to secure
pOStponement or the TRIAL.
DAMAGING TESTIMONY AGAINST PEAK.
Yesterday witness testified that she was pres.
ent at the injured girls bedside when Peak entered
the room. He kissed her and asked her how she
got hurt. Marys only answer was a look, FOL.
lowed by gurgling sound I'm her throat. Then
she grew very white. When Mrs. Anderson, Mary's
mother, reached her side she opened her eyes, and
look OF reorganization followed. minute later
She recovered her speech, and addressed her
mother by name. Then Mt. Anderson entered.
"How is this, my child?" he said. Her only answer
was. ~ couldn't help it, father" Her mother
urged her to tell the whole story OF the shooting
clearly and truthfully, SO that she might die in
peace, and that no innocent person should be made
TO suffer for the crime. Then she gave the whole
story, but what IL was will not be known until
later in the trial.
Prof W. H. Pancoast, OF Philadelphia, who at
tended Miss Anderson and assisted in the opera
ton for the recovery OF the bullet after its oca-
ton had been fixed by the induction balance said
the girl came TO her death from q pistol shot
wound in his opinion, not Sel1-inflicted. He said
Katie Anderson had told him she did not shoot
herself, and that Barclay Peak shot ner. At the
time OF saying this she was in momentary antict-
patton OF death.
